    Brushing up

    With all the tornadoes and severe weather here in Ohio how many of you not only practice collectively as a group (A.R.E.S Auxcomm, RACES,CERT, Etc.) but also as a family or neighborhood and or personally to sharpen your skills. I run a storm spotter team and we even practice during the winter and do a after action report, I also run scenarios with our family and see how different situations pan out.

    So, I belong to a group called MCACS Montgomery County (MD) Auxiliary Communication Service along with another HC member/elmer @kn3u . I will tell you this, for us, the hardest thing about drills has always been finding people who want to run them. After a while it’s the same usual suspects. Also, to be transparent, even I am not as participative as I should be. We have hospital drills, one of which is a ten minute drive from me, and yet I don’t participate as often as I should.

    In short, I commend you for your diligence. We need more people like you.

    With all of the stuff going on in the world we need to be not only practicing and planning for our groups and EMA’s, but our families as well. Like I had mentioned in a previous post some do not like to use radios but accept using the GMRS radio, every time we have a power outage (happens every so often) I use it to not only test equipment but to test plans, call trees and give others a chance to see how something works (or doesn’t). We never rise to the occasion but sink to the level of our training.

Bias is a tendency to favor or lean towards one perspective, person, or group, often at the expense of another. Bias can be conscious or unconscious (implicit) and can influence judgment, decision-making, and behavior. Unlike prejudice, which is explicitly about preconceived notions, biases can be more subtle and can even occur without the individual being fully aware of them. Bias is broader and can be positive or negative, affecting various aspects of life like decision-making in work, preferences in social settings, etc. Bias is basically a difference of opinion and that must be respected. Prejudice, however, refers to negative, preconceived opinions or attitudes held by an individual or group towards another group or individual, often without factual basis or experience. Prejudices are usually harmful, leading to unfair treatment or discrimination. They are often based on stereotypes and can be about race, gender, religion, nationality, or any other distinguishing characteristic. Prejudice is more about feelings and attitudes. Ham Community does not tolerate prejudice. We are all different, that's fine. Remember, duty and honor are built on respect. Use this reporting category sparingly and only if you are quite certain that the member is being openly and hurtfully prejudiced.
